Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Bryan Jellerson - Any chance Cook's absence could be more psychological than physical? I've seen players struggle to return from serious injury in the past because they fear a reoccurrance?
  • Kyle Slaybee - Would you rather: Mike Zimmer tell you "you're wrong" about football or Alton Brown tell you "this tastes awful" to one of your cooked meals? Was this an illusion due to success of downfield plays that werent hitting in previous games or was Diggs used better?
  • ChanningTator - On a scale of World War 2 Germany to Sherlock Holmes, how correct was Arif when he called out Zims time management?
  • Ryan - Was the saints mediocre offense stats due more to conservative game plan or good defense? Is this the week some poor, unsuspecting stuffed animal gets disemboweled in front of the team?
  • Connor - Following the trade of Golden Tate to the Eagles to join Alshon Jeffery, who is the biggest Vikings-killer in franchise history?
  • Kenneth Allen - Instead of a Patreon-exclusive Christmas episode can we get a Thanksgiving episode where you talk about how much turkey sucks and what better options there are for Thanksgiving food? How do you feel about Kendricks' play in the last couple weeks?
  • Paul - Are going to go 8-7-1 or 7-8-1?
  • Raul - Is Everson Griffin's press conference something the press requests or something he is obligated to do by contract? Does Thielen have a fumble problem?
  • DonfromOhio - Hypothetical scenario involving James, Arif, and TheBigHerman stuck in quicksand
